According to the preliminary analysis on United Hollywood, the DGA cut itself a not-completely-sucky deal. Which is a relief, because the DGA has a habit of rolling over.
The WGA is not obligated to take the DGA deal. Residuals are far more important to writers than the membership of the DGA, which is mostly not directors. (The DGA is mostly assistant directors, who don't get residuals anyway.)
But if this means the studios are now considering negotiating in good faith, with the DGA deal as a starting point, it is a very good sign.

it might be a good sign. But the trick is that nobody will know for a few more days.
So while everyone's cooling their heels I think a really excellent thing for Canadian Tv fans to do would be to watch this Monday's episode of "The Border" -- 9PM on CBC Television.
I think that would be a very very very good use of your time.
Looking forward to it.
